 What she did: Carbone, a mid-fielder, scored three goals in San Rafael's 4-0 victory over Novato last week. Earlier this season, Carbone notched a four-goal game against San Marin. She scored 12 of her team's 25 goals this season.

 What she said: "In the Novato game, I knew we had to win it, and I wanted to win it, and used my speed and kind of went off. It was a fun game. Going into the game, I knew I wanted to score, but I didn't think I'd score that many, but it was good that I did. As an attacking mid-fielder, sometimes I surprise the defense by moving into the play on offense."

 What's next: During the offseason, Carbone plans to play for the Marin Football Club under-17 team. "It gives me more experience and I get to practice soccer almost the whole year," she said. "Next season I want to help my high school team get to the playoffs."

 Off the field: She spends the winter months on the court playing point guard for the San Rafael basketball team. Carbone says almost all of her time is spent playing sports and working on schoolwork. "I'll probably play basketball next season, too, but soccer is my favorite," she said.

 Trivial matter: Carbone said she was named after the city in Australia where her mom, who was born in the Philippines, lived for 13 years.

 Coach Andres Orejuela: "Honestly, you wouldn't know it by the way she scores, but she's a mid-fielder, an attacking mid-fielder. She creates a lot of opportunities coming from the back. She's one of the fastest players in the league and there's no substitute for speed. She is only a sophomore and she can be one of the greatest players in this league the next two years. She's already a leader on the team. Her potential is unlimited."
